did your hubby have fun in the army
I know westy did not enjoy his experience
but back on tos there was an article which said lots of higher-ups were quittin' cause it had just stopped bein' fun for them
(this was two years ago)
it was my first idea that army was fun
when I was on email with sgt at tos
I asked him if it was fun
and he said yes
but he still was happy to retire (last june)
he wanted to come back from korea and be with his family
love, palo

Well, my hubby spent 10yrs in the full time active army, and 16 years in the army reserves, and like the rest of life, there were ups and there were downs...but it was an experience for him, and for our whole family, which we loved, and looking back on it, it was an experience that we are so glad that we had...a life spent in the army, is not for everyone, but for us, it was grand...

My husband is very proud of the time he put into the military...he once told me, the reason he went into the army, was because it was the best way he could come up with, of being able to protect his wife, his boys, and his country, all at the same time

So, yes, he is so glad that he spent so much time in the army...But he put his time in, and he is also very glad to be retired...he said, enough is enough, time to hang it up...and that is what he did...
